Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf ~ Lewis Mumford
Urban Design quotes by Lewis Mumford
From 50 centuries, we can learn about the close relationship between garden design and urban design, because both arts involve the composition of buildings with paving, landform, water, vegetation and climate. ~ Tom Turner
Urban Design quotes by Tom Turner
The fundamental failure of most graphic, product, architectural and even urban design is its insistence on serving the God of Looking-Good rather than the God of Being-Good. ~ Richard Saul Wurman
Urban Design quotes by Richard Saul Wurman
Architecture and urban design, both in their formal and spatial aspects, are seen as fundamentally configurational in that the way the parts are put together to form the whole is more important than any of the parts taken in isolation. ~ Bill Hillier
Urban Design quotes by Bill Hillier
It is difficult to design a space that will not attract people. What is remarkable is how often this has been accomplished. ~ William H. Whyte
Urban Design quotes by William H. Whyte
Americans are in the habit of never walking if they can ride. ~ Louis-Philippe I Of France
Urban Design quotes by Louis-Philippe I Of France
That thing we call a place is the intersection of many changing forces passing through, whirling around, mixing, dissolving, and exploding in a fixed location. To write about a place is to acknowledge that phenomena often treated separately - ecology, democracy, culture, storytelling, urban design, individual life histories and collective endeavors - coexist. They coexist geographically, spatially, in place, and to understand a place is to engage with braided narratives and sue generous explorations. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Urban Design quotes by Rebecca Solnit
While the rest of the world roars on, a large and growing minority is choosing not to do everything at full-throttle. In every human endeavour you can think of, from sex, work and exercise to food, medicine and urban design, these rebels are doing the unthinkable - they are making room for slowness. And the good news is that decelerating works. ~ Carl Honore
Urban Design quotes by Carl Honore
The new architecture and urban design of segregation could be called Calvinist: they reflect a desire to live in a world of predestination rather than chance, to strip the world of its wide-open possibilities and replace them with freedom of choice in the marketplace. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Urban Design quotes by Rebecca Solnit
As much as we complain about other people, there is nothing worse for mental health than a social desert. ~ Charles Montgomery
Urban Design quotes by Charles Montgomery
I do quite like Gehry's Guggenheim. But where in Bilbao it's seen as an outgrowth of years of investment in urban design and engineering, in Britain it's seen as the catalyst for urban regeneration rather than the icing on the cake. ~ David Chipperfield
Urban Design quotes by David Chipperfield
Urban design as a discipline barely exists in most American and Canadian cities. In Singapore, there are innovative transportation strategies at work. ~ Moshe Safdie
Urban Design quotes by Moshe Safdie
Abstractionism exacerbated the problem but sustainability, if intelligently conceived, could heal the rift between garden, landscape and urban design. Absolute sustainability is not possible. But relative sustainability is a practical and desirable proposition. ~ Tom Turner
Urban Design quotes by Tom Turner
Preventing global warming from becoming a planetary catastrophe may take something even more drastic than renewable energy, superefficient urban design, and global carbon taxes. ~ Jamais Cascio
Urban Design quotes by Jamais Cascio
Urban design is where the number are and easy size of installation plus the fast lessons to extend out to larger design acreage. ~ Geoff Lawton
Urban Design quotes by Geoff Lawton
Planners and designers should encourage as much diversity in human habitats as they find in animal habitats. It is not possible to resolve all conflicts or to gain all ends. Choices have to be made. Different aspects of the public good should be stressed in different places. To achieve variety in land use patterns, there should also be a variety of relationships between the professions, not an institutionalized decision-making tree. Relationships between the constructive professions should, therefore, be deconstructed. ~ Tom Turner
Urban Design quotes by Tom Turner
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges facing our cities or to the housing crisis, but the two issues need to be considered together. From an urban design and planning point of view, the well-connected open city is a powerful paradigm and an engine for integration and inclusivity. ~ Richard Rogers
Urban Design quotes by Richard Rogers
Physically, gardens must have boundaries. Mentally, they can reach to the limits of the known universe. The ideas that bestow such vast extent upon gardens derive from sun, earth, art, water, history, civilization, family, anything. ~ Tom Turner
Urban Design quotes by Tom Turner
Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level. ~ Robert Moog
Urban Design quotes by Robert Moog
The Road to Hell is Paved With Bad Intentions ~ Vicky Loebel
Urban Design quotes by Vicky Loebel
Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Urban Design quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Black is my Power! I am Gold for Purple. Gold of my Wisdom as well as my wealth! Purple is my dignity. The wisdom of my wealth is the dignity of my authority as I authorize my influence-ability. Progress I make as the Sage of the stage and
ages with the Sagacity of Sage. My perfection I excel, the stage of perfection I rule as I write the script of success. The finest architecture is still in the mind, put your design in black and white. ~ Anyaele Sam Chiyson
Urban Design quotes by Anyaele Sam Chiyson
You of all people know how hard it is to trust. Especially when the world we live in is not the one humans are aware of. Trust must be earned, and the way to earn it is to prove you deserve it. ~ Elizabeth Morgan
Urban Design quotes by Elizabeth Morgan
True interactivity is not about clicking on icons or downloading files, it's about encouraging communication. ~ Edwin Schlossberg
Urban Design quotes by Edwin Schlossberg
Good design, at least part of the time, includes the criterion of being direct in relation to the problem at hand - not obscure, trendy, or stylish. A new language, visual or verbal, must be couched in a language that is already understood. ~ Ivan Chermayeff
Urban Design quotes by Ivan Chermayeff
It is obvious that any rather non-color, monochromatic design is safe, easier, more generally restful and with life being the hurdy-gurdy that it is, more and more of us prefer and interior giving the maximum response. ~ Van Day Truex
Urban Design quotes by Van Day Truex
After months of preparation working with a stylist who explained to me how a fashion house runs and the process of making a dress, I developed a respect for the patience and skill it takes to design these dresses. ~ Pierre Niney
Urban Design quotes by Pierre Niney
Absurdity and anti - absurdity are the two poles of creative energy. ~ Karl Lagerfeld
Urban Design quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
You're not crazy." She was serious, no hint of a smile.
He cocked a brow. "And how do you know that?"
"I cut hair for a living." Her dark eyes glinted with playfulness, easing some of his jacked-up nerve. "I see crazy all the time. You're not it. ~ Lisa Kessler
Urban Design quotes by Lisa Kessler
Jacob thought about going home. He still had some American change, which he kept in an empty matchbox in his sock drawer, and one night, after he had finished his pancakes and jam, he took the coins out, spread them on the kitchen table, and admired the burnt sienna patina of one of the pennies, which in the candlelight was iridescent with violet and green where people's touch had salted it. The portrait of Lincoln was ugly and noble, and Jacob took off his glasses to look more closely. On the other side, an erratic line of shrubbery was engraved beside the Lincoln monument's steps. The idealism seemed to be in Lincoln rather than in the coin's design, which was homely. It was so homely, in fact, that there was a kind of democratic grandeur to it. It was the most beautiful currency in the world. Jacob was on the verge of tears. ~ Caleb Crain
Urban Design quotes by Caleb Crain
If you like your remote messaging fat, dumb, and interoperable, you could also look into the SOAP libraries distributed with Ruby. ~ Dave Thomas
Urban Design quotes by Dave Thomas
Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated. ~ Niklaus Wirth
Urban Design quotes by Niklaus Wirth
I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality. ~ Vivienne Westwood
Urban Design quotes by Vivienne Westwood
I would have made a very crappy book heroine. ~ Mari Mancusi
Urban Design quotes by Mari Mancusi
There's a lot of shoes that people consider high-end fashion, from Balenciaga to this and that or whatever, and the Pro Models are very similar to me. They're very fashionable to me - the design and the shape of them. I just like them. ~ Big Sean
Urban Design quotes by Big Sean
I never played Freddy as real. In the true bible of Wes Craven's outline for the films, Freddy only manifests himself in dreams. And a lot goes into a dream, not the least of which is imagination. So Freddy is secondhand information. Freddy is an urban legend that's been handed down to these teenagers over the years. ~ Robert Englund
Urban Design quotes by Robert Englund
Different' and 'new' is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard. ~ Jonathan Ive
Urban Design quotes by Jonathan Ive
I would say Pittsburgh softly each time before throwing him up. Whisper Pittsburgh with my mouth against the tiny ear and throw him higher. Pittsburgh and happiness high up. The only way to leave even the smallest trace. So that all his life her son would feel gladness unaccountably when anyone spoke of the ruined city of steel in America. Each time almost remembering something maybe important that got lost. ~ Jack Gilbert
Urban Design quotes by Jack Gilbert
In the heart of the God of the universe, each child of his is as necessary to him as the fingers are to the hand.-In the marvelous design of the universe, not even a sparrow can fall to earth meaninglessly ... ~ Toyohiko Kagawa
Urban Design quotes by Toyohiko Kagawa
The Biblical "dualism" in life then, is not between the "sacred" and the "secular" in contrived upper and lower stories of life, but rather between that which is in harmony with God's design or in conflict with it, that is, between good and evil, no matter in what sphere of life or endeavor it takes place. ~ Christian Overman
Urban Design quotes by Christian Overman
You can only fight what you are for so long. Eventually the hand that nature has dealt you will make you become what you were meant to be. You have no control over it. ~ Lindsay J. Pryor
Urban Design quotes by Lindsay J. Pryor
Every creative act is open war against The Way It Is. What you are saying when you make something is that the universe is not sufficient, and what it really needs is more you. And it does, actually; it does. Go look outside. You can't tell me that we are done making the world. ~ Jerry Holkins
Urban Design quotes by Jerry Holkins
It's always a pleasure to imagine an idea and work alongside a brand like G-Shock to make it a reality. G-Shock continues to push the bar with design and technology and that inspires me to do the same with my riding and visuals. ~ Nigel Sylvester
Urban Design quotes by Nigel Sylvester
Whether the task is writing, design, or hanging a picture straight, it is obvious that we do our best work when healthy, rested, refreshed, alert, and eager to do the job for its own sake. ~ Jeffrey Zeldman
Urban Design quotes by Jeffrey Zeldman
DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created. ~ Bill Gates
Urban Design quotes by Bill Gates
When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event. ~ Nicole Richie
Urban Design quotes by Nicole Richie
I've always wanted to do a Western. ~ Karl Urban
Urban Design quotes by Karl Urban
But as it was the Apostle's design to teach us what is the legitimate way of worshipping God under the New Testament, so by the way he reminds us that God cannot be really invoked by us and his name glorified, except through Christ the mediator; for it is he alone who sanctifies our lips, which otherwise are unclean, to sing the praises of God; and it is he who opens a way for our prayers, who in short performs the office of a priest, presenting himself before God in our name. __________________________________________________________________ ~ John Calvin
Urban Design quotes by John Calvin
There is an interior style we intellectuals and design policy wonks know as Haut Euro Pooftastic, which really takes the biscuit. ~ Peter York
Urban Design quotes by Peter York
Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it. ~ Ridley Scott
Urban Design quotes by Ridley Scott
New Jersey is the most poetic state: close enough to New York to be urban and cosmopolitan, far enough to be desirous and unsure; densely populated, but full of farms and woods, with the most deer of any state. ~ Robert Pinsky
Urban Design quotes by Robert Pinsky
If you stand for great service, low prices, superb quality, stylish design and environmental friendliness, you actually stand for nothing. ~ Josh Linkner
Urban Design quotes by Josh Linkner
If I die, don't take this too hard," she counseled them, "death is only part of things bigger than we can imagine. Our brains are just starting the greatness, to learn how to do things like flying. What next? You will see, and you will see that your mother is of the design. And I will always be made of things, and things will always be made of me. Nothing can get rid of me because I am already included into the pattern. ~ Louise Erdrich
Urban Design quotes by Louise Erdrich
Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Urban Design quotes by Arthur W. Pink
I never envisioned when I was reading that comic as a 17-year-old that I would have the opportunity to actually play the character. ~ Karl Urban
Urban Design quotes by Karl Urban
Many of the customers here are traveling all over the world so they need multiple types of clothes. That's one thing about Urban Zen - it is seasonless and it is timeless. So it's not about the fashion of a moment saying, "I have to have it now." It's something that you become a part of ... sort of like a sari. ~ Donna Karan
Urban Design quotes by Donna Karan
News is almost more interesting to me than other people's fiction, if that makes sense. But other people's fiction in terms of design is still incredibly interesting to me. ~ Neill Blomkamp
Urban Design quotes by Neill Blomkamp
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple. ~ Jonathan Ive
Urban Design quotes by Jonathan Ive
Every society must be intentional about educating its leaders. ~ Patrick Awuah, Jr.
Urban Design quotes by Patrick Awuah, Jr.
The Earth is indeed a precious gift of the Creator who, in designing its intrinsic order, has given us bearings that guide us as stewards of his creation. Precisely from within this framework, the Church considers matters concerning the environment and its protection intimately linked to the theme of integral human development. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Urban Design quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Today, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them. ~ Michelle Yeoh
Urban Design quotes by Michelle Yeoh
Urban reinvention is what has been called the "consumer city." The post-World War II years brought about the rise of suburbanization and the creation of the commuter city. People chose suburban life for its amenities and comforts and commuted into the city only for work and the occasional show. But Vancouver and Los Angeles are two urban areas that reversed the trend. They became consumer cities marked by a new phenomenon - the reverse commuter. Increasingly, these and other cities offer residents a quality of life they could not find elsewhere in the region - a dizzying variety of artistic, educational, cultural, and entertainment events and ~ Timothy Keller
